The pad uses polyester cover to wrap around plastic bag and polyurethane foams . It's very comfortable in the first 10 minutes or so, but every minute after that is unbearable. Even when I use this on a mesh back chair, it doesn't breath at all. The layering goes like this: The plastic fabric outershell Plastic bag (this is necessary to help the outshell slip on to the foamed frame, otherwise they will get stuck) Polyurethane foams Polycarbonate frame I need a way fix the heat issue, anything I can add on top of it to help? Using the chair without this add-on will hurt my back. Have tried putting bamboo mats on top of the pad, the effects wasn't very significant with the one I got, and pieces of it keep peeling off. Any better bamboo mats? Or better head dissipating fabric to put on top of the backsupport pads? This is the piece I am using https://www.amazon.com/ObusForme-Adjustable-Cushioning-Portability-Hypoallergenic/dp/B000FJUA8S/

Just a one time revisiting the nostalgia and then call it a day instead of the trend actually reviving and actually becoming viable again? I had hoped my next phone would be a medium range waterproof flip phone, but that will require the hinges to be perfected before the threat of water can be considered. I would have to wait another 5 years at least before my dream phone would become reality but that's under the premise that flip phones actually become mainstream again.

Right when I accepted the download, my computer blue screened twice and event viewer couldn't tell me what happened. I was using computer like I normally would, so might be because my computer ran out of memory trying to run the installer while my browser chewed up the reserves. After running the updates, seems okay so far, will needs to try memory intensive usage again to see if it happens again.

It was about the addon certificate checking that Firefox just decided to enforce overnight. It didn't just affect Firefox, but also all derivatives of Firefox like Palemoon, and they didn't even give you the option to disable the checking in the official version right away, only in the nightly version, because of this, ublock origin was disabled, plus a bunch of my other browsing essentials. https://www.engadget.com/2019-05-03-firefox-extension-add-on-cert.html It was that day that I really decided to give Vivaldi a look.

If you use Linux, there really isn't any option other than Firefox, but on Windows, Firefox cut one of my favorite addons, plus they had that screw up that disabled my addons all at once so I decided to take a break from them. That's beside the point though. I am mainly wondering how Edge fares against Chrome, just these 2.

I have been running Vivaldi for a while now, and I think Edge might be more stable than Vivaldi and am thinking about giving it another chance. I always use Chrome at work, but might start using just Edge once the workstations get them. I haven't really been using Google integration with Chrome very much anyway, only used Chrome as a browser instead of an interface for Google accounts. Haven't checked the full list of what I will miss out though.

Are vintage CRT monitors really worth that much?
CaptainPlanet replied to CaptainPlanet's topic in Displays
Can gamecube run on monitors? I only have a computer monitor that takes vga (or something older? I need to dig it out of my storage first) -
Some months ago I sold an old 4x3 LCD monitor because I had no use for it, and the market rate was only like $10 dollars for this thing. So I was also looking into getting rid of my old CRT monitor. I was looking at the price people were selling this and I was like wtf? This thing could fetch a couple hundred dollars? What's going on? Is there still a use for this hulking beast of a monitor beside vintage? Why is demand so high that this could fetch the same amount of money as an mid-entry level graphics card?

I am looking for a case where I can (easily mod the case and) mount a proprietary front IO panel to the case some how. Or failing that, some way to connect the case IO connector cables to male USB and audio plugs and act as extension cables to the proprietary IO panel I was reading the thread on the case transfer process for Dell optiplex 790 and newer, and the amount of work required to convert dell IO panel socket to use regular pc io panels just seems way too much. So I was thinking the next best thing 1. Either connect the case IO connector cables to male USB and audio plugs, and then plug them into the Dell IO panel and hide the Dell panel inside the case, OR 2. Simply mount the Dell IO panel directly to the case I think 2 would be easier because the diagnostic lights are also on the IO panel, but whichever works, but I don't know if the cable is long enough. I think the USB 3 plugs are actually compatible with Dell motherboards, so I could ignore USB2, but I still need the 1/8" headphone and mic jacks

Any one with Shaw internet can access archive.is pages?
CaptainPlanet replied to CaptainPlanet's topic in Networking
But Archive.is doesn't use cloudflare. Ah, never mind, I forgot to flush the dns cache, after I flushed it, it worked
